Advanced Biomaterials, are specially studied because these materials play an important part in therapeutics. There are two kinds of Biomaterials which are used, Intern layout (that are placed in the interior of the body) and External Layout (that are placed exterior of the body). The most commonly used Biomaterials are Polymers, Nanocomposits, Ceramics. The developing field of Tissue Engineering (TE) aims to regenerate damaged tissues by combining cells from the body with highly porous scaffold made of Biomaterials. Tissue Engineering is also an alternative of Drug therapy, Gene therapy and Organ transplantation. There are two methods used in Tissue engineering they are In vitro and In vivo techniques. The major cells that are used in tissue engineering are Autologenic cells, Allogenic cells, Xenogenic cells and Stem cells. The term regenerative medicine is often used synonymously with tissue engineering, although those involved in regenerative medicine place more emphasis on the use of stem cells to produce tissues.
